Basic Lemmy works without JS. Some stuff breaks, but it's still usable.

It's an easy way to get packages distributed across Arch. It's especially useful for new software because getting approved for mainline Arch repos is a pain.

The issue is the fact that it was created before widespread adoption of Arch and thus security is a bit lackluster.

When you use it, the first thing you'll see is "read all the PKGBUILDs before installing!!!" written all over the place, PKGBUILD being the bash script that gets the package into your system. And when Arch was that scary and unapprochable distro used by the nerdiest of nerds, everybody did exactly that and it wasn't an issue.

Nowadays a lot of people who are a bit less than consious about their decisions hop on Arch and use stuff like AUR without thinking what exactly they are doing. The results are all over the news outlets.

Maybe it'll lead to AUR creating stricter policies for maintainers, sad, but I doubt it can exist in it's current state otherwise.

There is nothing more manly than clicking that "female" button on character selection screen.

It says in the description that this is a version with minimal changes that exists because uBlock is not available in China. It looks like the source is located here: https://codeberg.org/lanticy/cBlock

I wouldn't use it if you have the ability to use the original uBlock, but if you have no other choice, this looks plausable.

I say it should be illegal to incorporate the word "snow" in the names of things that are not white.

People were never apart to begin with, even if some power hungry pricks want you to believe otherwise.

We all live on the same planet, have roughly the same needs and wishes. Languages and cultures may be different, but under the hood we are all the same.

It's a bit sad how everybody talk about the new NTsync. Most games, like, 90% of them, are not bound by sync. You would get exactly no performance benefit in them. What's better about it is the correctness of the implementation, more programs will work under WINE as a result of switching to NTsync. It's a good thing, but media clearly seems to miss the point and only focus on a few cases where it would give an impressive performance benefit.

If someone didn't learn enough trigonometry in school:

1+tan^2^c = cos^2^c/cos^2^c + sin^2^c/cos^2^c = (cos^2^c + sin^2^c)/cos^2^c = 1/cos^2^c;

sqrt(1/cos^2^c) = |sec c|

The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.

E.g. 299'999 → 29'999 - 18 = 29'981 → 2'998 - 2 = 2'996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.

It's a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.

The problem is, in my opinion, that they post memes that are clerly provoking non-vegan people for discussion.

It's weird to jump under a "here are my 15 ways of cooking asparagus" post with anti-vegan content. But "look at these carnovorous clowns" memes are clearly offensive.

It's just a domain name, it has nothing to do with sites being safe. Just as any other site, they may be malicious, may be not, depends on who runs the site.
